November 17, 2023 – Ears to Hear/Hearts to Obey

Good morning,

Listen and take heed!  It will be as in one moment the sun is shining and in the very next dark clouds looming.  Darkness is violently trying to overtake the light, but the light will prevail in greater force.  For this nation has pushed the Almighty to the side.  Yet, I have some who refuse to bow their knees to Baal.  They are the reason for my long-suffering, My bride, My church, and those who love Me so deeply.  I have been calling for my bride, the church, to purge, purify, and prepare for her soon-coming King.  Some have not heeded My voice at all and it has been as if I am crying in the desert.  They refuse to draw close enough to hear Me.   Still, some are sensing an urgency, even some who have left My house are coming back for they sense a drawing to Me.  For those who have been close, I hear your cry and you are why I am stirring Myself up.  Some of my children have become distant and hard-hearted, and I continue to pour oil and fire to aid and assist them in staying interested in Me.  They have fallen and deceived themselves into thinking they stand.  I am crying, “Awaken and stir yourself up to Me.” I have been the one upholding preserving, and sustaining you from the evil around you.  Our enemy is running with vengeance to try and deceive this nation.  I need My people to be alert!

I have held My peace and soon I will let go, because of the cries of My little ones. In my house, there will be only holiness. This is a time for a repentant heart, My people should be crying out on behalf of this nation.  Otherwise, this great nation will be brought to shock and horror, for their acts of discarding Me, their only hope.  They have built their own gods and they have become their own source.  Shortly, there will come a great shaking that will begin in the northeast which will be duplicated in the west.  It will cause fear and dread in men’s hearts, but not for long.  They will turn and curse Me, for their trust is in themselves.  I will allow them to have what they have spoken against Me.  They will reap sorrow because they continually reject my mercy.

My children who have prepared themselves by praying in the Spirit and building themselves up in their faith, the Spirit has brought them to My feet to learn My voice and the voice of My word.  They have hearkened to My call and renewed their first love.  They shall be strong and victorious, they will overcome darkness and shine forth, they will be radiant, for their hope is in Me.  They will be brought forth as pure luminous gold.  I will not disappoint her, for she is Mine, and nations will look and see My glory through her.

Those who have ears to hear, hear clearly.  Prepare with a time of fasting, prayer, and worship.  Desperately seek Me, for your living does depend upon it.  I will hearken to your voice, for you have hearkened to Mine. You have made Me your refuge and I will come and cover you.  I will reveal Myself to you as El-Shaddai, the Almighty God who takes care of His own and supplies needs and gives hearts desires.  For you, there will be an everlasting sun even through the days of darkness.

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at My mouth and give them warning from Me.” (Ezekiel 3:17)

“Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).” (Ephesians 6:18)

“That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless]” (Ephesians 5:27).

For I Am building says the Lord. I Am the Master builder, listen carefully. I build my church on the firm foundation and that is My Word. I have been building you steadily for years.

Good morning,

     For I Am building says the Lord. I Am the Master builder, listen carefully. I build my church on the firm foundation and that is My Word. I have been building you steadily for years. You have not always seen the outcome immediately but I have been faithful to do it. When you have fallen, I reinstated you and restored you and caused you to be lifted up, even when your head was held down, I lifted you up.  When you fail and you make mis-steps in your life, I turn those things around for your good because I Am proficient towards what I do and I never faulted anything that I put my hands to build.  The only reason buildings fall is because people become involved with their reasoning and doing things their own way without consulting Me. Now for those who would give their heart to Me totally and completely, I will build up a foundation that will stand forever and it is My Name and My word.  It is by you stirring up My love that I have placed in you that I Am raising up a generation of people who have found out how to walk in My power. They will walk in My power until I come growing daily. 

     They will no longer be behind but they will be the head. They will no longer  receive the vagabond things of this world but they will walk in the high places yes, the places that I have ordained for them to walk in. They will be seated with Me in heavenly places, and they will know things because they will have keen hearing and understanding to fulfill the work. They will not any longer wonder why, for they will see those things that I have and am revealing to them because they have sought My face.  Revelation that have been waiting for years has come now. Through My Word and taking hold of these things and understanding how to walk them out you are beginning to build just like your Father builds. I have found some who are faithful in my house and the faithful shall abound in blessings.

     “He makes my feet like the hinds’ [firm and able]; He sets me secure and confident upon the heights. He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; and Your condescension and gentleness have made me great.” (2 Samuel 22:34-36)

     “But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience).” (James 1:25)

     “Making your ear attentive to skillful and godly wisdom and inclining and directing your heart and mind to understanding [applying all your powers to the quest for it];” (Proverbs 2:2)

 I come quickly, so you must hold fast to what you have in Me.  Let no one and nothing rob you or deprive you of your crown. 

 
Good morning,
 
    I come quickly, so you must hold fast to what you have in Me.  Let no one and nothing rob you or deprive you of your crown.  For My church must be overcoming and My Bride is heavenly.  I have not chosen a bride from Egypt, but one risen from the ashes of the old and now is a new resurrected bride.  One that has decided to make My home hers.  This is a called higher and set-apart nation.  A holy and royal priesthood that continues to look beyond the temporal and keep their mind on the eternal.  In that day when I gather My own, all that you have done in My Name and all that I have recorded in your name shall unfold.  Your faithfulness shall be rewarded greatly, and it shall be your testimony but, dear ones this is not the season for looking at the temporal, the circumstances that presently surround you.  For your suddenly shall come in a moment and all that you see now will be in your history.  The only thing that is stable during all seasons is My Word, it never changes.  It is your compass and guide during transitions, changes, storms, and times of trouble.
     As I prepare My Bride, I will purge her with My prophetic rain of power in teachings and in demonstrations with peculiar signs and wonders.  This will be My wonder, as you begin to move in new realms of manifestations of faith, as you come out of lethargic and inactive ways.  Those who spend time in the secret place with Me I will give to them a new sense of perspective.  In order that your future will be as clear in view as the past.  You will see these fleeting things from My point of view.   You will know that I Am not only preserving you but I Am also perfecting you.  I know that you live within the confines of time, yet I Am.  I Am neither limited nor bound by time, I Am infinite and eternal.  I Am using this season to reorganize thoughts of confusion and fortify what I have built-in you.  You must have a "different spirit", a different attitude of mind in order to possess the territory at this time.  You can not conquer with the old mindset.  You must remember that the "giants" in the land are nothing but grasshoppers to Me and that I Am a Warrior.  I will fulfill My good Word to My true Bride in due time.  I Am your Lord and I change not!
 
    "I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one may rob you and deprive you of your crown." (Rev. 3:11)
 
    "Let us rejoice and shout for joy [exulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb [at last] has come, and His bride has prepared herself." (Rev. 19:7)
 
    "And, A Stone that will cause stumbling and a Rock that will give [men] offense; they stumble because they disobey and disbelieve [God’s] Word, as those [who reject Him] were destined (appointed) to do.  But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." (1 Peter: 8-9)

In the years that are ahead, there is coming a mighty army of God full of anointing and dressed in My grace.

Good morning,
 
     In the years that are ahead, there is coming a mighty army of God full of anointing and dressed in My grace.  They recognize that it is My grace that will put them over and that makes them abound, it is My grace.  My ability on their inability to do everything in their life, that I have called them to do, will cause them to arise.  I will cause them to become the head not the tail and people will begin to look and see that My church is alive and full of My glory, My power, and full of My joy.  There will not be one pitiful face because of the things that surrounds them.  In fact, the world will see people who are the light of this world, shining bright.  Know that I Am coming for a church that is without spot, wrinkle or blemish.  I Am coming for the ones that I have dressed and prepared, those that I have sacrificed for that I have given all to.  I Am coming for a ready church says the Lord.  They are the ones who are seeking My face during the dark times, the ones that seek My face when the light is shining bright, they are the ones who change not.  They do not let circumstances alter the way that they feel towards Me, or the things that I Am doing, even in the things they do not understand.  
     They know this, that I Am working all things out for their good.  I have always been that God, always been that Father, and I will never change, says the Lord.  It does not matter what it looks like, or what you see, I Am on the scene and when I Am on the scene, I Am doing super abundantly above all
that you can ask or think.  I Am not through!  I know the world is rolling up and thinking that it is over, but I Am not through until I get the glory that belongs to My name, until My church magnifies Me in everything that they do and say.  So get ready for yourself to blossom and to bloom and come forth like My garden.  This is My abounding army that I have been growing up, and I have been doing it from the day that you became My saints.  I have been working in you doing mighty works, causing you to walk in a love that supersedes the mind and the understanding, causing you to extend beyond your own limitation.  For I Am opening up those grave boundaries in your heart, so that I can breathe life, and make you available and able to do the things that I have called you to do.  There is nothing that is too hard for Me, so I Am doing it even now.  I Am working out the hardest thing, the tough place, the situation that you can not do anything about, and yet now, because you have surrendered them to Me, I can step in and show Myself strong on your behalf.  I Am your mighty warrior.  I Am your victorious God, and everything I said I would do, I Am doing it says God, so that My name might be glorified in all of the earth.
 
     "For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)!  No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly." (Ps. 84:11)
 
     "Alas, Lord God!  Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm!  There is nothing too hard or too wonderful for You— You Who show loving-kindness to thousands but recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosoms of their children after them.  The great, the mighty God; the Lord of hosts is His name — Great [are You] in counsel and mighty in deeds, Whose eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to reward or repay each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings," (Jer. 32:17-19)
 
     "Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams] —" (Eph. 3:20)

    I have given many warnings to My people about the times of the end.  You have sat at My table that was prepared for you from the beginning. 

2464D983-A6B4-481E-88DC-8A20FB527315

Good morning,
 
    I have given many warnings to My people about the times of the end.  You have sat at My table that was prepared for you from the beginning.  You have partaken of My Word that was only sweet to your taste and easy for you to swallow.  Yet, I have referred to My Word as milk, water, bread and meat.  Each has a different texture and each one supplies you with ingredients that are needed for spiritual growth.  You have not trained your palate to desire all that is necessary to be able to endure.  So eat My Word, all of it, and it will begin to cause you to stretch out for more of Me.  Grow up in My Word!  I have described My Word as a hammer, a sword, and fire.  The hammer will deeply embed in you what is needed to keep you stable and immovable.  My sword will cut and sever from you things that have grown in your life that will weaken and infirm your walk of faith.  The fire of My Word will ignite and destroy all that is left that is unacceptable, that would try to grow back. 
   Take heed all those that I Have placed as shepherds over My people.  You are responsible for the preparation of the one-sided unhealthy portions of food that have consistently been fed to My people.  You have caused a spirit of deception and a false-belief system to breed among My church.  You have only wanted to teach what is acceptable and popular to My flock, causing them to be weak and malnourished.  Some of you teachers have made My people believe that I Am a hard taskmaster with very little mercy towards them.  Yet, others have portrayed Me as a God with very little judgment, that just gives to everyone, anything, at their request, as if I was their very own personal genie.  I am rebuking you now, from a place of My love and mercy.  I Am calling you to preach and teach the whole Gospel.  I have warned you about the time when all that people would want is to have their ears and eyes tingled for their own pleasure and delight.  A time that they would not tolerate My sound wholesome Word.  This is that time!  Stay with My Word it is the guidepost that I have given so that you may really know Me.  Stop leaving out, and adding to My Word, stop embellishing for your “person” to be seen.  Stop dishing out this ungodly mush, that does not nourish at all.  Ministers, you must prepare My people with My Word to be able to endure and to be strong in faith.  Religious, preconceived ideas are causing a sleepy, lethargic and non-responsive “body”.  Be not consumed with your own reputation, but with the care and the growth of My house.  My people are My house, build up My house and I will establish yours.  Build with My Word and not with your favorite words.  Build wisely, not with the religious wood, hay and stubble that some foolishly use.  Turn back to My Word with a pure heart.  Empty yourselves of pride, greed, jealousy, hatred, vindication and all manner of evils and return to Me.  Those who will return, I will receive you to My heart and I will multiply back to you once again.  You will make up My holy remnant, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, the set apart ones, the holy vessels of God.
 
     "Is not My word like fire [that consumes all that cannot endure the test]? says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks in pieces the rock [of most stubborn resistance]?" (Jer. 23:29)
     “And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God." (Eph. 6:17)
     "Like newborn babies you should crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow unto [completed] salvation,. Since you have [already] tasted the goodness and kindness of the Lord. Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men tried and threw away, but which is chosen [and] precious in God’s sight. [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable pleasing to God through Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2:2-5)
